Do you want to improve the communications of your project or organization? Have you ever experienced any of the following problems?

• The downstairs storage locker of your office has over 3,500 copies left of a brochure produced 5 years ago. A total of 3,700 copies were originally ordered.
• Days are spent working on a press release involving numerous staff. One week after going public, not one media outlet has used it.
• $50,000 is spent on a 2-day workshop with 50 participants from across the globe. By the end of Day 1, there have only been plenary presentations, proceedings are 2 hours behind schedule, some participants have not spoken a word, and some have retreated to the coffee area outside to talk about old times with each other.
• Your Communication Manager receives a 200-page report that has taken 8 months to produce with contributions from 12 authors. The project is already 2 months over the deadline and the client is furious. You tell your Manager that he has two days to edit and finalize the document. He has not been involved yet during the process. No template or guidelines were ever sent to the authors. He quits.
• A state minister for the environment makes a surprise visit to your office and requests some information to take home about activities related to climate change, one of your organization´s core programmes. You have nothing ready except an outdated 5-year old brochure.
• Your project includes 80 activities and you´re not sure how they link together. How do you even begin to communicate what your project is doing?
• You´ve finally been able to convene a meeting between 6 top experts in your project. Your goal is to present a communication strategy and get buy-in. Out of the two hours available, the first 1.5 hours somehow become devoted to deciding on the right words for a slogan.
• Following two years of preparation, your team of experts finalizes a public version of a scientific assessment. The report is initially disseminated to 200 individuals deemed to be “part of the environmental community”. Initial feedback shows that the language of the report is full of so much jargon and complexity that most readers could not get past the Executive Summary.
• A great communication strategy is drawn up for influencing policy makers. However, the only resources available are for covering a part-time communications officer for 3 months.
• Participant 1: “Let´s make a poster!” Other participants: “Great idea!”
